Chapter 17 Number One High Ranking

Many months ago, the darkness ruled over the sky as the moon along with stars can be seen ruling it.
In front of a wooden cabin. Beside multiple burning logs, Hemetus can be seen standing beside it.
"That man" Hemetus moves his hand toward his chin, "he's guarding a portal. His intention in guarding must be something necessary for him."
He slides his hand inside the pocket of his pants and brings out a big dark stone.
"I found this near him," Hemetus narrowed his eyes at the big dark stone.
Presently, Hemetus remains standing as he's expanding his tremendous fireball. Hence, he launches it toward Hackilion.
Hemetus' eyes remain calm as he lowers his hand to the side of his pants. His eyes widen and he turns around, and then he extinguishes the massive fireball.
While turning around, he lifts his hand and swings down his hand which is releasing flames.
His eyes widen upon slicing a stone statue in half and the ground underneath it breaks apart.
A masculine voice echoes, "I didn't know that you would come this far. You're worse than scum, Hemetus."
Hemetus turns around and from the ceiling above him, Hackilion emerges and manipulates the ground; stone spikes emerge around Hemetus and it imprisoned him.
He releases flames and looks up only to see the ceiling, and then he is struck by Hackilion's foot; Hemetus flies away and bounces on the ground.
He arises and sees Hackilion. He crouches, and touches the ground only for a crack to occur on it; the crack reaches Hemetus and the ground breaks apart.
Hackilion stands up and runs toward his side, therefore, he leaps over the railing. A thick line emerges from the ground and he lands on it, and then he looks over to the large clouds of dust occurring on the castle.
The tremendous force of fire clears the vast cloud of dust. Hackilion steps backward and a huge fireball lands on the pillar of stone where he's standing
The fireball vanishes as Hemetus comes out running onward to Hackilion. Both run toward each other and throw swift punches and kicks; Hackilion blocks Hemetus' punches using the line of stone which he's releasing from the ground.
Hemetus inhales and releases huge flames from his mouth but a wall of stone blocks it.
Hackilion jumps out from the wall and throws a stone spear and hammer toward Hemetus yet it was thrown away by a force of flames from Hemetus' fists.

They fly towards Hackilion and he catches it. He lands on the ground and runs toward Hemetus.
Hackilion swings the spear and hammer toward Hemetus but Hemetus avoids the hammer and spear by moving from side to side.
But a line of stone emerges from the ground and it extends toward him, but Hemetus releases flames from his mouth and it burns the line.
Hackilion goes toward Hemetus and both throw fast punches and kicks at each body part, but they avoid each punch only to get hit by their fists on their chest.
"You'll never win! Just surrender everything, Hackilion!" Hemetus pulls his shirt and a red burning mark can be seen on his chest, "I will never give up on my wish!"
"Your wish?" Hackilion's eyes are widening and he clenches his hands, "I thought your wish was to be with us?!"
Bright fireballs appear floating around Hemetus, hence, he aims his hand at Hackilion.
"My wish is that you'll die," Hemetus throws the fireballs at Hackilion, "you took everything from me."
Hackilion surrounds himself with stone walls that emerge from the ground around him, forming a dome; imprisoning Hackilion.
Hundreds of fireballs hit the stone dome. Hemetus glances downward and is hit on his face by a stone hammer causing him to be thrown away from the stone platform.
Huge flames emerge from Hemetus' mark; forming massive flaming wings. Hemetus flies upward whilst he flies away from the incoming large stone spikes.
Once Hemetus surpasses Hackilion's eye level: he releases flames from his mouth while Hackilion jumps backwards.
His hands become multiple lines of stone which head toward Hemetus at great speed; wrapping Hemetus but he flies away.
Hemetus flies toward Hackilion at great velocity. Therefore, Hemetus channels tremendous flames from his hand, covering his entire hand.
"Even if you level up you're nothing but a useless, worthless person." Hemetus narrowed his eyes as his eyebrows furrowed.
Hackilion closes his eyes as his fingers separate from the stone, and he is hit by the large hand of fire; huge explosions occur on the stone platform.
Hemetus flies from the smoke and he reaches the night sky. He looks around him and so, he flies in a certain direction leading him to the ground.
Meanwhile, huge tremendous mountains emerge from the ground around the castle and they imprison the entire castle.
"No!" he flies toward the castle, "I can't let them stop from making my wish come true!"
"Do you think that I'll let you?" Hackilion emerges from one of the mountains detaining the castle, "I can't comprehend why you joined those filthy brats!
"But, there's one thing that you need to remember and that is don't underestimate me and my capabilities."
Meanwhile, Ranliantra is standing on her ground. Her eyes are gazing at the thick large fire heading towards the mountains surrounding the entire castle.
Alamia remains unconscious while Tobias is standing beside Ankara. Shremiah, Kofta, and Frek are standing around Lianna and Marie who remain without consciousness while laying on the ground.
Ranaliantra turns around and sees Escarfra standing near her. A soft gentle wind flies toward them, and Escarfra goes toward Ranaliantra a bit.
Ranaliantra speaks, "You are the woman in the prophecy, destined to be consumed by the leader of those creatures."
"My father is one of them," Escarfra rubs her arm as she's looking aside, "and he already told me about that and Semfes."
Ranaliantra's eyebrows are lifted by her words, and she says, "If I'm right, you are the one who took Semfes under your care when he was a baby?"
Escarfra nods. Hence, she looks straight into Ranaliantra's eyes. "I have this feeling that Arak might take over my body for half of his power is flowing in me."
She closes her hands. "Please, if that does occur… I need you to slaughter me and burn my body."
Ranaliantra steps back a bit. "You're losing too much hope. Maybe, you're exaggerating the point of your reasoning on preventing Arak from stepping onto this world."
"It's my fault," Escarfra's hands are trembling as she's glaring at Ranaliantra, "it's my only resolve to prevent this occurrence–!"
Ankara begins to yell, "Do you think that your death can prevent him from coming out?! With dozens of armies of nagbabagane! No, one can stop him!"
Tobias coats his hand with silver; he forms a blade on it and points it at Ankara's face. Tobias' eyes are calm yet menacing as they are fixated on Ankara.
"If I cut your head then it's all over," Tobias tells him, "just one cut can slaughter you."
Meanwhile, Hemetus launches heavy force of flames toward Hackilion but Hackilion manipulates the ground; he emerges colossal walls from the ground.
Hence, he proceeds to push huge pieces from the ground, therefore, he launches them toward Hemetus. He pushes the pieces of soil away from him and he burns some of it until it crumbles.
Hemetus flaps his massive fire wings and releases a strong force of flames but it was blocked by levitating big chunks of rock.
Thick lines emerge from the mountains and they go to Hemetus while Hackilion runs toward the lines and uses them as his bridge.
Hackilion breathes deeply through his nose as he touches his abdomen, and he releases a group of leaves from his mouth.
Hemetus breathes five tremendous fireballs toward Hackilion. He raises his hand and colossal chunks of land arise and blocks the fireballs which have the same size.
Hackilion jumps from the edge of the stone bridge, and he reaches Hemetus but Hemetus points his hands at Hackilion and releases a strong stream of flames.
Hackilion blocks the flames with his gigantic stone shield which sprouted from the back of his wrists.
He slams the shield at Hemetus multiple times, and he kicks Hemetus' abdomen.
Hemetus falls as Hackilion lands on a thick stone pillar that emerges from the ground.
Hemetus opens his eyes as he's descending from the sky, and a mark begins to appear on his back.
"That bastard," Hemetus begins to close his hands, "I will make him pay! I will never back down from the likes of him!"
The marks on his back and chest glows brighter, therefore, a tremendous force of fire emerges from the marks.
Hemetus flies toward the sky whilst Hackilion detaches the stone shields from his hands. His eyes remain fixated on Hemetus who's surrounded by vast flames.
Ranaliantra touches her ears and her eyes widen as she moves her face down. She hears a voice in her head, saying, "It must be tough comprehending the situation, right?"
She looks up and everything around her is dark except for Hackilion who's smiling at her while standing.
"Hemetus needs to be restrained," Hackilion tells her, "what I can tell is that if I got defeated, I am lending you all my h-hopes and trust on defeating him, okay?"
Hemetus is staring down at Hackilion whose eyes are closed. "What is he doing?"
Hackilion opens his eyes and he moves them up until he's seeing Hemetus. "I still don't understand why you're doing all of this."
Hemetus swings his hand downward and a tremendous explosion occurs in Hackilion's position; the explosion is so strong that its force wrecks the entire mountain and the castle.
Furthermore, Ranaliantra summons a massive purple energy shield blocking her and her comrades from the force of the explosion; cracks are appearing on the shield and Ranaliantria bites her teeth.
The explosion disappears only for colossal flames covering the entire castle to be seen, and the mountains and platforms are nowhere to be seen.
"I was prepared to do this," Hemetus speaks as he's gazing at the flames, "right from the very moment of knowing the true purpose of Arak… I decided to serve him and make him grant my wish.
"Now, no one can stand up to me."
Ranaliantra falls to her knees as her shield disintegrates. Escarfra runs toward her and kneels beside her while staring at Ranaliantra's mug.
"Let me heal you." she aimed her hand at t Ranaliantra's chest.
Orange energy appears on Ranaliantra's heart; the energy spreads to her whole body and every wound she has disappears from her entire body.
Escarfra moves her hand from Ranaliantra's chest. Ranaliantra looks at Escarfra with a calm expression. "Thank you for healing me. Now, let's move."
Ranaliantra stands up and her eyes widen, hence, she turns aside and throws purple energy in a certain direction but a fireball hits her chest.
Ranaliantra hits the ground as Escarfra turns around her only to see Romina standing with a number 4 embedded on her forehead.
Multiple nagbabagane lands from the sky and some emerge from the ground. Tobias turns around him only for him to see a tremendous flaming sphere heading towards his direction.
A bright blue lightning cuts the fireball in half and it causes a massive explosion to occur.
Obiel is chuckling while lowering his hand, and he speaks, "Oh, my heart is driving me crazy! I'm glad to face element users once again."
The massive smoke disappears only for an orange barrier to be seen, and Shremiah, Kofta, and Tobias are inside the barrier.
Tobias turns around, and there, he witnesses Ankara crumbling to pieces.
"He wasn't our original number one," Obiel speaks, "he was more of a backup for the arrival and awakening of our number one high-ranking nagbabagane, Hemetus."
During the intervening time, Ranaliantra is looking directly at Romina.
"I will defeat all of you!" Ranaliantra's purple eye shines brighter, "I promise!"
